Like most people I developed an interest in photography during my teen years when I had a variety of point and shoot cameras. Most of what I learnt before I joined Towcester and District Photographic Society was from books and magazines. In my twenties I had my first serious camera, a Cosina CSM SLR. From here I progressed to Canon owning 1000f and two EOS 100’s.

I spent 30 years working shifts as a Policeman locally which made it difficult to commit my limited time to attend any clubs etc. on a regular basis. During my time with Northants Police I spent a lot of my time drinking tea at Brackley Photographic, a shop in Brackley. Bill the owner would critique my photos that I showed him and after a while I was taking Wedding Photos and event photos for the business.

My first digital camera was a point a shoot Fuji and when Canon produced the first affordable DSLR the 300D I converted to digital SLR’s.

Following on I had a 20D, 40D, 7D before ending up with my current cameras a 7D mk2 and 5D mk4 after previously having a 5D mk3.

Since June 2022 I have firstly upgraded the Canon 7D mk2 to the Canon R7, an APS sensor sized mirrorless camera. This camera has made it much easier to photograph moving subjects and achieve blisteringly sharp images. I have been so impressed by this camera that I have now upgraded my Canon 5D mk4 a full framed DSLR to the Canon R6 mk2 a full framed mirrorless. I was a DSLR stalwart but I’ve now fully joined the mirrorless revolution which I find easier to use once you accept a new way of taking photographs.

As can be seen from my selection of photos I tend to enjoy anything which has an element of movement in it. I especially enjoy photographing birds in flight, which is more challenging than photographing birds in a static position.
